However Burnley looked the better side after the re-start, with a free-kick from Ross Wallace forcing Barnsley goalkeeper Luke Steele into a fine save.

Steele could do nothing about Ings' shot shortly afterwards but was grateful to see the ball rebound off the right-hand post.

That roused the home side into action, with Craig Davies shooting wide and Akos Buzsaky drawing a save out of Lee Grant.

But the game petered out, leaving Keith Hill's side two points above the relegation zone and Burnley anchored firmly in the middle of the table.

Barnsley manager Keith Hill
: "It was an uphill challenge after their goal, but the way the lads responded was absolutely superb.

"They showed a lot of bravery and I am pleased with the way we played.

"Performance-wise I am very happy and it is progress, definitely. I will wake up and look at the stats and if I can take away the scoreline, it will reflect very similar to the top teams in the league.

"The only thing is missing is the scoreline, we are that close, but are a million miles away."

Burnley manager Sean Dyche
: "I am pleased with the outcome more than the performance. I wasn't pleased with the performance, particularly the first half.

"But we demand a lot from the players and we have to be realistic and know we might have a soft performance every now and then.

"So within that, the major positive was that we came out of it with a point. But the performance, especially in the first half, was not something that I was enjoying."

26:04 Charlie Austin crosses the ball, Header from deep inside the area by Martin Paterson goes over the bar.

21:01 Martin Cranie delivers the ball, Kieran Trippier manages to make a clearance. Corner taken right-footed by Akos Buzsaky from
the left by-line to the near post, Chris McCann manages to make a clearance.
